i haven't used it yet... but i suspect, no due to the resolution presents... i'd figure you'd want to try something that was 800 x 480 or 7XX x 480, or 800 x 4XX - which ever is shorter to not cut off the image or cause it to scale...
i found yxflash to be really jumpy. audio is fine but the video is lagging!
but is this becuase im playing a file which hasnt been converted to the proper screen size, e.g. downsized to fit the screen?
No, I don't find that any conversion is necessary. Are you using the N1? I used it on the droid and it was choppy, but the N1 works fine. Maybe try another file. It could be a problem with the encoding of the particular movie you are playing.

Here is a little known Chinese player. It has been converted to English by members of XDA...I believe the below is the latest English version. For me, shorter xvids like tv shows work pretty well, but longer movie type files (1GB +) can crash the program...So YMMV...But hey, it's free!
I was scrolling through the thread reading posts thinking "seriously, nobody mentioned Rock Player?" and was about to post the APK file.
Its all about Rock Player!
This thread is pretty old and rock's public beta is pretty recent so that's prob why
Rock rocks btw, great development and I hope they keep focusing on improving playback and codec support!

hahaha, great point. I didn't even look to see when it was posted. I assumed it was a recent thread.
will it work on files that aren't xvid? I've got some that my kids love, that the phone doesn't even recognize are on the card, though it reads and plays the xvid ones.

I don't know what file format you're talking about, but rock supports a whole bunch! Just try it or look up the supported formats on their site (don't remember the address exactly)
I've recently found a video player that plays avi and wmv files. Its called rockplayer and you can find it on the android market. It works great on my htc desire. Give it a try
That's a bummer! I watch streaming video on my HD2 every night before I go to bed (helps me fall asleep). I want to switch to a nexus one but this issue is a big one for me.. Are there any other players that will stream divx/avi over wifi to the phone?

Thank you. Part of my reason for wanting to switch to Android was the plethora of available apps and I assumed there had to something available that would allow me to stream video off the LAN over wifi. I'm surprised that tons of people aren't interested in this to be honest!
Gmote was one of the first apps I downloaded to my nexus, the streaming playback was in beta back then. And guess what, it still is!
This app hasnt updated even once and the streaming is pretty poor.
I have been researching streaming media to my android phone for what seems like decades now... even though i have only had my phone for 3 months.
Previously i used my omnia i910 to stream media off my PC with orblive, which worked great. Omnia i910 had coreplayer stream the media, orblive has a great interface (used media skin) and listed all my videos/mp3's
Not so great of a story on my Motorola droid. Great phone... but wtf? Cant stream avi's, wmv's and the 3g encryption doesnt look great. Ive looked into VLC but it looks like a pain to setup. GMOTE wont stream avi (i have rock player but you can make that your default media player to actually stream AVI's) and orblive will stream flash... but its not THAT great, maybe jumps around from 10-20 fps'ish
My question is there any update to the streaming/video playback on the droid yet? Something easy like orblive and a media player that will play AVI's or WMV's.
Exactly... Rockplayer (could) be great but I cant make Rock Player my default media player/doesnt stream. I can stream avi's VIA flash, but the frame rate isnt great.
No solutions? Is android really behind (far behind) a windows mobile device? My omnia i910 with coreplayer and my PC serving my library with orblive is great... but... my droid cant do that?

Give some time to android buddy... It's still in growing phase... a third party applications will be available soon I think.
yes rockplayer is good but dont you people find it a bit laggy??Indeed it is laggy....i heard vplayer betaa is better for avi,but didnt find it anywhere,even in market....downloaded its .apk but when it installed it said this copy has expired!!!!
Long before the Nexus One launched, the media was filled with speculation, buzz, rumors, and excitement regarding the possibility of a "Google Phone". The rumors were put to rest when Google announced the Nexus One, the first ever Google ... Read More
